Abstract
Some readers will think that studying these issues can be useful for stomatologists, but parasitic diseases play a preponderant role in the causes of global morbidity. As an important subgroup of these diseases, it is worth highlighting the tropical parasitosis.
That, although they are not frequent, when they occur they make dental procedures very difficult.
A series of important aspects have made it not strange to diagnose these diseases in several countries. Among these we highlight: for us health professionals, the increase in international contracts, the extension of migratory movements from countries with a tropical climate to Western countries, the growing number of these areas as tourist destinations for citizens of the so-called first Western world, the success and boom in the use of immunosuppressive substances and the spread of infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
